Janfromboone Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I've recently wondered if Tobie is normal. Before Tobie I've noticed other parrots, amazons and others sitting in their cages in pet stores and other places and sleeping during the day. It just occured to me the other day that I've never seen Tobie sleep during the day. On days when I'm home with Tobie he is either in the cage with the door open or downstairs with me on the back of the couch. He NEVER sleeps. He is playing, chewing, preening, eating, talking, or sitting on one foot and just staring at nothing. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have never seen Charlie sleeping .I have seen him on one foot sort of dozing but never with his head under his wings.Cracker does have a proper sleep in the day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Koko does sleep during the day. She spends longer sleeping hours when we are not at home. I noticed that there's no poop on the bottom of the cage when we reached home after a few hours out. My Grey doesn't poo while asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Dayo does as others mentioned. Leg up, eye's blinking. Once or twice we have watched him literally lay down and fall into a deep sleep. But, this was only when we were in the living, darkened, watching a movie and Dayo would lay down next to Kim on the couch and next thing we knew, he was laying down, feet sticking out the back and head nuzzled into Kim.

judygram Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Once in a while I see Josey sleeping on the weekend but I can't comment on whether she does during the week. She is usually in her cage playing or sitting on a playstand and she will sit there with one foot up just looking around or preening. I guess it depends on whether they get enough sleep at night.

JillyBeanz Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I saw Harvey sleep once during the day - that was the second day we brought him home. He "rests" like the others say, one foot up, but just stays nice and quiet (not very often!). I don't think when we are out that he sleeps - the radio is on so he'll not get much peace. My tiel used to sleep all of the time - so I find it funny that Harvey doesn't either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessdecutie18 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yoshi will chill on one foot and relax... but very rarely does she close her eyes... if we are watching a movie in darkness though she also cuddles up and naps, blinking at sudden noises on the TV or laughs from us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpittman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 All of mine sleep during the day - usually around the hottest part of the day here (about 3:00 pm). I call this general nap time for all...lol. I've noticed that around 2:30 the yawns start for Dixie and then she gets into her cage and gets very quiet and comfortable on her favorite perch, one leg up. I've caught her with her eyes closed a couple of times. When I was visitng Beau the other day about the same time of day I caught him napping. He'll fit in nicely when he comes home tomorrow!

Mollysmum Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Mali sleeps during the day sometimes. if I've dozed off at a weekend then he will have a nap with me. He also stand on one leg and doze as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I'm not sure if my two sleep when I'm out and the house is quieter but they certainly don't when I'm here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janfromboone Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've also never seen Tobie with his head under his wing as some of you have described. He just drops his chin to his chest and sleeps that way. I've seen that when I get up in the middle of the night for some reason. Maybe he sleeps if I'm at work, but when I'm home - nope - he doesn't sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
